For algebraic properties I did a layered foldable. Seemed like a good idea. Still is, but I think I need to define the steps better. For this one, we just wrote what we did to simplify the expression but now that I look at it again, it could be better.
On a quick tangent, as I look over what I did/didn't do this past year, I'm trying harder to ask myself "what is the purpose of my doing this?" I think that for most of this, I had good intentions. But some of the things I chose to do weren't very transparent or didn't feel purposeful. With the push of helping the students be career and college ready, I need, we all need, to have purpose for what we teach.
Off my soapbox, here is Algebraic Properties. Top flap has our title and then an expression to simplify (I just used an expression we had worked on).
Commutative property comes next. Same scenario with instructions. Needs better step by step.
Last but not least, associative of addition property. Made sure to emphasize the addition since signs matter.
Overall, it wasn't the worst foldable and with better clarity I think it will be useful. I think with my new approach, I can make this a bit better.
